<p>A highly underrated component of a well thought and designed house is the Balcony. A space that is also a private access to fresh air is most often given the least credit. When it comes to designing a house, we see large rooms dominating and eventually suffocating the balcony into a tiny space that’s as good as a window. This probably happens because one does not know what to do with this space, when there are numerous creative ways of giving it that ‘oomph’ factor.</p>
<h2><strong>Swing your stress away</strong></h2>
<p>Can you think of a better way to relax after a tiresome day at work than to swing your stress away?  Quite literally. Or maybe unwind on a holiday, a date between you and your books on a cane swing designed for one. Cane furniture is complimented best with wooden flooring, however, it never hurts to experiment. A book rack can be added as well, for easy access during those reading sessions. If you’re not a ‘Me time’ kind of person, you can always opt for the two-seater swing and chatter away into the night with your spouse.</p>

<h2><strong>Balcony Garden</strong></h2>
<p>After all, the balcony is the front yard/backyard of an upper storey living space. Why not, make it appear like one too? Lace your balcony with some delicate creepers for a picturesque view every morning. Bring in some pots and you might just develop a new hobby. Bonsai works best for those who are passionate about gardening and have time on hand to dedicate towards it. The lush green will have a relaxing effect on your eyes and you get fresh oxygen every day. A win-win situation for all. Flooring can be of any rough stone to give it a contemporary look and to flatter the breath-taking greenery.</p>

<p>Ever had one of those days, when you plan out a date and forget to book a table on time? Well, fret not. You can turn your very own balcony into that fancy date place. All you will need is a table, a couple of chairs and some lights. Not to forget food and wine of course. Thought needs to be put into choosing the furniture though.

<h2><strong>Barbecue Parties</strong></h2>
<p>There’s no said rule that barbecue parties belong to terraces and backyards. So no worries if you live in a flat and a balcony is all you have. A spacious balcony can be converted into one as well. As long as suitable flooring like clay tiles or pebbled mosaic is used. Flooring is important so it’s easier to clean and fire resistant, soon enough you’ll be the neighbour everyone wants to visit. Barbecue stands that hook on to railings are easily available, add a little seating or a basic bar counter and you are good to go.</p>

Iconic Decor Ideas to Brighten up any Balcony

<p>Probably a balcony is the only space in your entire home where you could sit, relax and enjoy fresh air and beautiful nature. Therefore this space needs to be treated in a very beautiful manner so as to create its own identity with its own themes be it modern, traditional, contemporary and so on.</p>
<p>Here I present some of the stupendous ideas to treat the balcony starting from a wall to floor to roof to railing to furniture and a lot of those things</p>
<h2><strong>NOT JUST A BALCONY</strong></h2>
<p>This contemporary kind of balcony is the new trend in the market of a balcony where space not only act as a balcony of the room but when the entire partition is pushed off, it also generates more space into the room itself creating a sense of openness. This is definitely the best hack for the places that lacks spaces. Make sure to add similar kind of materials to the balcony that you’ve already used in the room so as not to disturb the theme of the overall premises.</p>

<h2><strong>WHEN PRIVACY BECOMES PRIORITY</strong></h2>
<p>There are a lot of times when you need private spaces in the lap of nature and this is the best thing you could think of while completing the similar kind of desire. The nooks and corner are the major part of this style of a balcony where the privacy is made with the help of curtains. Decoration pieces and the greenery on the railing are definitely acting as a cherry on the cake.</p>

<h2><strong>IT’S A ZEN STYLE BALCONY</strong></h2>
<p>Give a cozy and charm look to the balcony by adding lavish couches and another style of furniture pieces. The potted plants are placed to give a very natural look to the place and the feeling of being in a garden just by sitting at your own place. The color is chosen which is easier to look at and easily blend together. The overall ambience gives the feeling of a comfortable outdoor room.</p>

<h2><strong>TRADITION FOLLOWS TREND</strong></h2>
<p>This is simply what I call a beautiful kind of balcony where you have a traditional kind of furniture placed, pergolas instead of a roof and creepers instead of any partition or any wall. There is an ample space available for family gatherings, friends dinner and any such function that requires space. The overall decoration of the balcony isn’t very expensive but it still hits your eyes in the most pleasant way.</p>

<h2><strong>COLOURS ARE HAPPINESS</strong></h2>
<p>The patterns and the blingy colors are something I am personally in love with. Such a style of decorations actually cheers you up whenever you are in bad mood. The wall decoration with greenery here is actually the focal point of overall space that makes you realize the freshness and liveliness. Such accessories are the key element that completes the decorative look of any place. The patterned flooring is totally in accordance with the furniture used and this is where the total theme of place is resting on.</p>

<h2><strong>DECORATIVE BALCONY IS ALWAYS THE BEST</strong></h2>
<p>There are the times when you don’t feel like spending hefty amount but at the same time wants a very different style. This is the perfect example where all the decoration is done only with the potted plants and no extra antiques or other decoration pieces are used. Even the furniture used is very casual one but it’s just the colors that are highlighting the space too much extent. Nature plays a very important role in this example where you have to decide the type of plants to be placed very wisely.</p>
